Directions

What a great recipe! It came out perfect and tasted wonderful. It is such an easy recipe and at the end you get an impressive roast. Also, I don't have a meat thermometer and just followed the 45 minute cooking time, it was a perfect medium rare. I served it with roasted potatoes,roasted carrots, arugula and hot sourdough bread. Such a great meal! Thanks so much, I'll be making this again.
